Series III / MFX2 on eBay

Thanks Laurent,
That's what I thought. If I didn't have a Series III already and had the money to buy, I'd snap this up in no time.
Cheers,
Peter

Hello Peter,

I think it is a nice machine, and seems in great condition.
The price is correct. The only issue for a european guy like
me, is the shipment... It's really expensive and when I invest
this amount of money, I prefer to pay and pick the item myself.

I don't understand why it has not found a buyer yet ? Many people
payed more money for a 9.34 series 3 ...

Best regards.

Laurent.

one thing from the pictures is at the min the battery is out in the MFX remote""program in non-volatile ram is invalid, press blue plus minus to enter upload", which looks to be the only keyboard supplied, so that would mean you'd be a little hosed to run it even though the statement "needless to say it's working great" or something like that which would suggest what else isn't being mentioned? (though it could have gotten fixed and maybe the picture's just old in which case if anyone finds that to be the case please tell me so i can ask them how because one of my mfx controllers has done that and after i replace the standard lithium backup battery won't know how to reload the firmware,) does anybody know the proceedure to get the firmware into an mfx controller. I have one that's giving the same error message, and am assuming after replacing the battery, that firmware will have to be flashed in again as i think this battery was for holding that memory. I know the command to receive a firmware dump, but is there a way to hook up two MFX controllers to each other, enter a command on one and then dump to the other?or? any guidance? please?

MFX keyboard software upload.....

2007-02-14 by horiprod

If you need to upload software into an MFX keyboard, the only method 
I'm aware of is from an MFX mainframe. Quit the system, and type 
mfxload (return) The keyboard needs to be "waiting" for code, (I can't 
remember which way round these two steps are). When code is being 
transferred across, there will be a visual indication of the keyboard 
filling up in the LCD screen, and at the end of the process, the 
mainframe OS9 # prompt should re-appear. The MFX keyboard may even auto-
boot.

Hope this is helpful, regards,
